Chapter 232: A Fly Enters a Pitcher Plant—It Goes and Never Returns
The Master had just left the world of Ever Night, and then was beaten here by Laozi using baseball techniques.
The Master was also a little confused. After all, he was not the real body, but just an incarnation.
After listening to the Master's narration, Gongsun Ce took off the golden pendant from his waist and handed it to the Master.
"Does it feel familiar?"
The Master took the pendant, and he felt a strange aura suddenly appearing in the Ever Night world.
"There is indeed a strange aura in my world, and that aura is the same as the aura hidden in this pendant."
"what?"
Gongsun Ce had a somewhat puzzled expression. This time, he was like a fly entering a pitcher plant - there was no way back.
Haotian thought that he could find the Master and devour him by transforming into a human.
However, when she transformed into a human, in order to prevent herself from being swallowed by human emotions, she chose to hide in Sangsang's body.
In other words, if Haotian had not been born, Sangsang would have been born. But if Haotian had not been born, there would not have been a strange individual like Haotiansang.
The world is saving itself again. Since the agent of heaven will cause trouble, let her have rich combat experience and let her heart be occupied by hatred and career.
In this way, she would not be shaken by Ning Que, nor would she be fooled by various secret doors due to her lack of combat experience.
However, leaving secret doors is also a classic tactic in certain puppet shows. As long as the villain is strong enough, the good guys will find ways to find the opponent's weakness.
If the weakness cannot be found, a strong and righteous person will sacrifice his life to leave a special secret door on the villain's body, making it easier for the righteous to attack.
In this wave, Master and his friends learned some tricks. First, Ning Que left a seed to make Sangsang pregnant, and then Master and Liu Bai left human power on Haotian, trapping Haotian in the human world.
However, this was the only solution. In Gongsun Ce's opinion, the situation the Master was facing was equivalent to Hongjun suddenly going crazy. If he didn't arrange some strategy, even the Six Saints tied together would not be enough to defeat Hongjun.
"I think I understand." Gongsun Ce nodded. "This is to create a female warrior for you. She's called Lady of the Nine Heavens. She's very good at fighting and has almost no weaknesses."
"hiss."
The Master took a deep breath for the second time today. He could already imagine the difficult situation in the future.
Haotian Tiannv's ability to fight depends entirely on her high mana bar, high health bar, and outrageous skills, but Haotian Tiannv herself has no operational ability.
If Haotian Tiannv's account was suddenly controlled by someone else, Fuzi couldn't imagine what would be left in their world after the other party's smooth little combo.
"This?" The Master was speechless for a moment, "Since she was born in this world, does she have any weaknesses?"
“I don’t know.” Gongsun Ce spread his hands. “Besides, she will most likely be integrated into your world, so her original weaknesses will naturally disappear.”
The Master took a sip of wine and then fell silent.
Gongsun Ce did not continue speaking. He raised his head and looked through the window at the sky. There was nothing in the blue sky but only a vast expanse of blue.
But at this time Xunzi was somewhat moved. He could feel the aura of the Master which was equivalent to the early stage of the unity of man and nature.
"Master, may I ask, what realm does your clone's realm correspond to in your world? Is it the peak?"
"It can't be considered the top, but it's also one of the best. Master Xun, are you interested in going back with me to take a look?"
Seeing that Xunzi was interested, the Master also prepared to invite Xunzi to the world of Ever Night.
One more person means more strength, and Xunzi should have some understanding of the Queen Mother of the West.
“If the teacher wants to go there to complete a breakthrough, he can leave. He does not need to worry about Xiaoshengxianzhuang, let alone Confucianism.” Gongsun Ce said calmly.
Gongsun Ce could see that Xunzi wanted to achieve a breakthrough by changing the world, but Xunzi still had some concerns in his heart.
So Gongsun Ce directly dispelled Xunzi's concerns, and Xunzi smiled slightly at this moment. He decided to leave with the Master in a few days.
"However." Gongsun Ce looked at the Master, "Since the teacher is going to leave with the Master, why don't you give me a copy of the cultivation method.
In return, we will also give you a copy of our world's martial arts training method."
"Alright." The Master was also somewhat curious about the cultivation methods of other worlds. "However, my cultivation method may not be suitable for you. Take care of yourself."
"It's natural."
So the Master generously gave the Gentleman's Unfairness to Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce also gave the Three Wonders of Wind, Cloud, Rain and Uncertainty to the Master.
Seven days later, the Master and Xunzi left the Qin world together and headed for the Ever Night world.
Xunzi could not see the starry sky road because he was not in the state of unity between man and nature. However, the Master was indeed followed by someone along the starry sky road, so the Master easily found the starry sky road.
At this time, Gongsun Ce had been in seclusion in the secret room of the Taiwei Mansion for four days.
The practitioners in the Ever Night world integrate their thoughts into the seventeen Qi orifices of the Snow Mountain in front of the chest and the Qi Sea behind the waist, so as to sense the Yuan Energy of Heaven and Earth and practice accordingly.
However, only those who can open thirteen of the seventeen acupoints of the Snow Mountain Qi Sea can sense the vital energy of heaven and earth and allow the vital energy to flow in the body.
In other words, the practitioners in the Ever Night world actually have no energy in their bodies; they mainly practice telekinesis.
Except for martial arts practitioners and the disciples of the magic sect, other practitioners use telekinesis to control the elemental energy of heaven and earth, and then display incredible abilities.
The martial arts in the Ever Night world are purely about honing the body, unlike the martial arts in the Qin Dynasty that practiced true qi.
The Demon Sect cultivators in the Ever Night world absorb the energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, but Haotian is stingy enough, so the energy is chaotic and violent. Therefore, the Demon Sect cultivators will explode and die if they are not careful.
However, the demon sect cultivators who are able to survive will have a strong physique due to the training of their Yuanli.
Gongsun Ce was currently sorting out the cultivation methods of the world of Jiang Ye, and using the Master's unique skill "A Gentleman Is Not Intended" as a support, he began to comprehend the cultivation methods of the world of Jiang Ye.
One day is the first acquaintance, two days is the perception, three days is the no doubt, four days is the profound understanding, five days is the knowledge of destiny.
Then Gongsun Ce temporarily stopped practicing the methods of the Jiang Ye world. This method of practice was indeed special. Even if one was at the initial stage, one could directly contact the power of heaven and earth.
After comparing the methods of practicing martial arts and telekinesis, Gongsun Ce continued to break through.
Soon, Gongsun Ce broke through to the Wuju realm, which is equivalent to the half-step realm of unity between man and nature. Therefore, Gongsun Ce's breakthrough can be said to be a natural result.
Until this moment, Gongsun Ce opened his eyes. In his eyes, the whole world was filled with the power of heaven and earth. He only needed to pass through the gaps in the power of heaven and earth to travel through space and reach the end of the world in one step.
After all, "wuji" means ignoring distance.
At this moment, Gongsun Ce was in a playful mood. He took a step and appeared in Sanghai.
Looking at the rippling green waves in front of him, Gongsun Ce chuckled. The improvement in combat power was secondary. The movement speed was really outrageous, and Gongsun Ce could feel that he could even lead people to move.
So Gongsun Ce took a step to the right and came to Taiyi Mountain, and in front of him suddenly appeared the figures of Bei Mingzi and Xiao Meng.
Bei Mingzi looked at Gongsun Ce who had just appeared with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"General Gongsun, has this been accomplished?"
There was some excitement in Bei Mingzi's tone. In his mind, the ability Gongsun Ce displayed at this moment was already inhuman, so Gongsun Ce might have broken through the realm of unity between man and nature.
"What's the matter? I just got a little bit." Gongsun Ce picked up Xiao Meng with one hand and put his other hand on Bei Mingzi's shoulder, "I'll show you how to feel it. Let's go!"
Just now there was a small bamboo forest in front of Bei Mingzi, but as Gongsun Ce took a step forward, what appeared in front of the three of them was an endless grassland.
"Is this shrinking the earth into an inch?"
Bei Mingzi felt the change in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Master." Xiao Meng tugged at Bei Mingzi's clothes in Gongsun Ce's arms, "I want to learn this, too."
"This?" Bei Mingzi was somewhat speechless, "Master also wants to learn."
"This method of cultivation is indeed different from martial arts cultivation, but in order to achieve this effect, one needs to cultivate to the level equivalent to the half-step state of unity between man and nature."
After saying that, Gongsun Ce rubbed Xiao Meng's head and continued, "Even if you are extremely talented, you may not know how long it will take to practice. It may take as short as 20 to 30 years, or even a lifetime to reach the target."
"So." Gongsun Ce leaned close to Xiao Meng's ear and said in a somewhat seductive tone, "Do you want to try it?"
When Bei Mingzi saw that Gongsun Ce was still determined to trick Xiao Meng into joining him, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"General Gongsun, this is my only successor."
"Huh?" Gongsun Ce looked at the somewhat anxious Bei Mingzi and was surprised. "So the Taoist sect is really so short of people? Do you want me to introduce a few to you?"
"That's not necessary." Bei Mingzi sighed softly, "As long as it doesn't affect your martial arts practice, it's fine to learn more."
"This practice focuses on one's mind. Even if one does not practice seriously, but is absorbed in one's own expertise, one can still reach a higher level."
Bei Mingzi also became interested when he heard this. Their Taoism focuses on the mind first, and then on the training of qi, so according to Gongsun Ce's statement, he could also try this method.
Bei Mingzi now understood Gongsun Ce's "sinister intentions". He was using them as a test subject.
However, Bei Mingzi suddenly felt that it was difficult for him to refuse because Gongsun Ce had taken action.
Gongsun Ce's left hand was placed on Bei Mingzi's shoulder again. As Gongsun Ce took a step forward, they arrived at the top of Mount Shu. At this moment, the Fusang sacred tree had not been removed yet.
Therefore, the three of them appeared directly in front of the Fusang sacred tree. Xiaomeng looked at the Fusang sacred tree in amazement.
"Wandering to the North Sea in the morning, the sky is green at dusk, and the green snake in my sleeve is brave. I was drunk for three times, and the people in Yueyang didn't recognize it. I sang loudly and flew across Dongting Lake."
Gongsun Ce recited softly, but it made Bei Mingzi and Xiao Meng truly feel what it meant to travel to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.
"Fun! I want to learn this!"
Facing Xiao Meng's request, Gongsun Ce moved his face closer to Xiao Meng with ill intentions.
"If you want to learn something, shouldn't you say something nice? Little girl, don't take yourself too seriously."
After saying that, Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pinched Xiao Meng's pretty face.
At this time, Xunzi, who followed the Master back to the world of Ever Night, suddenly felt that the shackles on his body were gone, as if he had been reborn.
The next moment, Xunzi's aura suddenly soared, and in the blink of an eye, his aura had surpassed the half-step unity of man and nature realm and was growing towards the unity of man and nature realm.
After years of hard training, he had reached the state of half-step unity between man and nature, but that insurmountable bottleneck always made him feel extremely depressed.
However, at this moment, a ray of inspiration suddenly emerged in his heart, which was an opportunity to break through the realm of unity between man and nature.
Xunzi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate his energy.
His Tao was fully manifested at this moment, and the breath of Confucianism on the outside and law on the inside swept out like a strong wind, filling the entire wilderness. This breath contained Xunzi's wisdom and persistence, penetrating the external appearance and reaching the origin of heaven and earth.
As the breath spread, a huge Dharma image gradually appeared behind Xunzi.
This Dharma image is a hundred meters tall and looks exactly like Xunzi, but his temperament is more majestic and solemn.
He was dressed in the attire of a great scholar, holding a ruler engraved with the word "Confucianism" in one hand and a bamboo slip engraved with the word "Fa" in the other.
Xunzi's Dharma image began to slowly absorb the power of heaven and earth. Endless power of heaven and earth poured into his body like a torrent, causing his aura to soar again.
This power was so strong that Xunzi could feel his soul constantly sublimating, as if it was about to merge into this world.
Years of hard work finally paid off at this moment.
Xunzi successfully broke through the realm of half-step unity of man and nature and stepped into the realm of true unity of man and nature.
His foundation is extremely profound, enough to allow him to take a considerable step forward in this realm.
His aura swept across the entire wilderness like a strong wind, allowing all the practitioners in the Evernight world who had reached the realm of knowing destiny to feel Xunzi's aura.
They all turned their eyes in the direction of Xunzi. They knew very well that there was something wrong with this sky, which would prevent others from breaking through the realm of knowing destiny and reaching the sixth realm.
And Xunzi's aura undoubtedly surpassed the sixth realm and reached the seventh realm.
So they were all waiting. They felt the changes in the world, but they did not dare to break through directly, such as Liu Bai.
Therefore, they were all waiting for Xunzi's fate. If Haotian had not found Xunzi, then they would not mind breaking through to the sixth level now.
After all, not all people in the sixth realm can run around in the Haotian world without paying attention to distance like Wu Ju in the academy.
In order to avoid Haotian's detection.
Not all people in the sixth realm are like Tianqi and become Haotian's lackeys.
To put it bluntly, the sixth realm currently existing in the Haotian world is a realm that can prevent Haotian from invading.
However, just as the aura of Xunzi's breakthrough spread, Haotian Tiannv also sensed his presence.
As the agent of Heaven, she would not allow anyone to compete with her for the power of Heaven and Earth.
Then, a pair of huge and sudden eyes suddenly appeared in the sky.
These eyes flashed with brilliant light, with lightning flashing in them, as if containing endless rage.
At this moment, all the spectators believed that Xunzi would not be able to escape the poisonous clutches. Haotian was furious, and she activated her divine power to unleash thunder.
Haotian Tiannv locked onto Xunzi's position, and then endless thunder began to strike from the sky.
These thunders contained the majesty and power of heaven, as if they were going to completely destroy Xunzi.
However, Xunzi faced these thunders without fear.
His Dharma image became even taller and more powerful at this moment, as if he was going to compete with the Heavenly Dao.
Xunzi waved the ruler and bamboo slips in his hands, and the ruler struck the thunder, suddenly splitting a bolt of lightning.
Then more thunders struck towards Xunzi, but the bamboo slips in Xunzi's hand unfolded and turned into a protective shield to block the thunders.
There are many paths that Xunzi could choose to break through, but he chose Confucianism on the outside and Legalism on the inside, because this kind of edge ball often brings certain conveniences to people.
For example, at this moment, Xunzi's bamboo slips and ruler, one attacking and one defending, actually managed to temporarily resist Haotian's divine punishment.
In the Master's eyes, this scene was very similar to the time when Ke Haoran drew his sword and pointed it at the sky. The only difference from Ke Haoran was that Xunzi was not challenging Haotian's power at Taoshan, where Haotian's power was the strongest.
And Xunzi is not like Ke Haoran who was determined to die.
However, Xunzi had just broken through and Haotian was blocking the power of heaven and earth, which caused Xunzi to lack some stamina.
He felt that he was unable to stop Haotian's divine punishment, and at this moment the Master was ready to step forward to save him.
Just as the Master was about to take action, Xunzi waved at him.
Since Xunzi came to this world with the Master, he would definitely not be unprepared.
Strictly speaking, Xunzi could be regarded as the vanguard officer of Gongsun Ce's expedition here, so Gongsun Ce made some things temporarily and gave them to Xunzi to test their power.
The wind was howling, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed as if the sky was torn into countless pieces, each piece containing the power of destruction.
Xunzi stood in the center of the storm, his figure appearing even more resolute under the reflection of the thunder.
However, as the thunder struck one after another, the aura on his body gradually became weaker, as if it would dissipate in this violent world at any time.
At this critical moment of life and death, a gleam of determination flashed in Xunzi's eyes.
He took a deep breath and slowly took out a jade bead from his arms.
This jade bead is the size of a lead ball, and its surface emits a faint black light, as if it contains some mysterious and powerful power.
Xunzi held the jade bead tightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made some important decision.
Just as the next bolt of lightning was about to strike, Xunzi suddenly raised the jade bead high up and threw it into the sky.
The jade bead drew a graceful arc in the air, and then met the thunder that was about to strike.
There was a loud bang, and the thunder struck the jade bead hard, shattering it instantly.
However, at the moment the jade bead shattered, a conspicuous black sun appeared out of nowhere.
The sky was extremely gloomy, with thunderstorms. But in the thunderstorm, a black sun was like a big umbrella that blocked everything for Xunzi.
When the black sun appeared, it emitted an extremely strong gravitational force, as if it was going to suck everything around it in.
The thunders that were originally striking Xunzi were now attracted by this gravitational force and fell towards the black sun.
The lightning bolts intertwined in the air to form a huge electric net, and then were all sucked into the black sun and disappeared without a trace.
The eyes in the sky seemed shocked when they saw this.
It stopped releasing thunder and watched quietly what was happening below.
However, at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
This crack was like a huge portal that slowly opened, revealing a golden world.
In this golden world, there is a majestic temple standing in the air.
The divine palace radiates dazzling light, as if it is the center of the entire world.
In the temple, a five-clawed golden dragon was quietly hovering.
Its body radiates a golden glow, and its dragon scales sparkle with a metallic luster.
When it sensed the movement outside, it slowly raised its head and let out a deafening dragon roar.
As the dragon roared, the five-clawed golden dragon left the temple.
The gate to the divine palace also closed, as if everything had returned to normal.
However, the five-clawed golden dragon did not stop, but flew straight towards Xunzi.
It was extremely fast, like a streak of golden lightning cutting through the sky.
Xunzi's heart tightened when he saw this. He knew that this five-clawed golden dragon was no ordinary creature, and its strength far exceeded that of the previous thunder.
However, Xunzi was aware of the power of the Black Sun, and his eyes were fixed on the five-clawed golden dragon and the Black Sun.
Just as the five-clawed golden dragon was about to pounce on Xunzi, the black sun suddenly collapsed.
It erupted into a scorching storm, burning and distorting the surrounding air.
The five-clawed golden dragon did not retreat in the face of the scorching storm, but went straight towards it.
The moment the storm collided with the five-clawed golden dragon, a shocking roar broke out.
"Roar!"
The storm continued to erode the body of the five-clawed golden dragon, and golden dragon scales and blood were scattered all over the ground.
However, the five-clawed golden dragon showed no fear. It opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening dragon roar, trying to use its dragon breath to fight the storm.
However, the power of the scorching storm was too great.
A few minutes later, the five-clawed golden dragon's body was gradually obliterated by the storm, leaving only a golden dragon soul struggling in the air.
However, even so, it still did not give up resistance until the last moment, when it completely disappeared in the storm.
After destroying the five-clawed golden dragon, the scorching storm continued to move towards the indifferent eyes in the sky.
Those indifferent eyes seemed to be frightened by the power of the storm and closed tightly at the moment when the storm was about to hit it.
Xunzi, who was unharmed but had a slightly fluctuating breathing, looked at the disappearing eyes and breathed lightly.
He still remembered that before leaving with the Master, Gongsun Ce had handed him three jade beads as a trump card, but he didn't expect that he would use one of them.
Xunzi felt a little warmer in his heart as he felt the two jade beads remaining in the lining.
"You're so strong, brat!"
Xunzi couldn't help but sigh. He had never expected that the jade beads given to him by Gongsun Ce would contain such power.
At this time in the Qin world, Gongsun Ce looked up at the sky. He could feel that one of the jade beads he gave to Xunzi had been used.
Those jade beads were not ordinary items. They were carefully refined by him using the bones of the basilisk snake and the refined dragon blood.
So a seemingly ordinary jade bead can withstand the double black sun he exerts with all his strength.
After his proficiency in Black Sun reached 30%, he learned the double Black Sun without any instruction, and it seemed that only one Black Sun was released.
If Xunzi observed the scorching storm carefully, he would easily find that the scorching storm was a double helix structure, which means that it was the power of two black suns collapsing at the same time.
A black sun can destroy the five-clawed golden dragon, but it will not overwhelm it with overwhelming force. Even the five-clawed golden dragon cannot make a symbolic resistance.
All I can say is that Gongsun Ce’s efforts were not in vain.
